<p>Dear colleagues,<br>
</p>
<p>The Department of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine has a number of
openings for new graduate students starting Fall of 2019. We are
in the process of expanding our graduate program, so please feel
free to forward this information to any interested parties. All
this information and more can be found in the attached leaflet and
via <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="cogs.ci">cogs.ci</a>.<br>
</p>
<p>Our department specializes in</p>
<ul>
<li>Computational and mathematical cognitive modeling</li>
<li>Cognitive neuroscience</li>
<li>Visual and auditory perception</li>
<li>Attention and representation</li>
<li>Learning and development</li>
<li>Memory and language</li>
<li>Judgment and decision making</li>
</ul>
<p>... and is generally strong in the use of leading technologies
such as EEG, fMRI, and robotics, and of modern research tools such
as computational methods, big data, and Bayesian statistics.<br>
</p>
<p>We offer PhD degrees in Cognitive Sciences with an optional
specialization in cognitive neuroscience and an optional joint
degree (MS/PhD) in Statistics. We also take pride in offering
excellent financial packages to our graduate students, including
at least five years of guaranteed support, health insurance,
research funding, and more.</p>
<p>These positions are also open to international students with
appropriate academic qualifications (i.e., a Bachelor's degree in
a relevant field).</p>
<p>This year's deadline to apply is December 1, 2018.<br>
